What Are You Doing Right Now?

Sitting in bed writing this , 50 meters from a beautiful beach . Trying to remind myself that i am a very lucky person

 

That's actually a really interesting analogy. I never thought of it that way.

I just never got into anything fantastic--Star Wars, Harry Potter, Spiderman, etc. I like stories that are more real. My idea of a superhero movie is, like, Die Hard. I know he doesn't have super powers, but the archetype is the same. But he's a ordinary guy in an extraordinary situation. That's much more interesting to me than an extraordinary guy in an extraordinary situation.

EDIT: Typos like a muhfukka. I hate posting from my phone

Getting bit by mosquitos trying to put LR tire back on with a bad lower back.

NASCAR groom vroom

 

I'm trying not to eat...and all that keeps staying on my mind are the fresh strawberries and cookies 'n cream hershey's candy bar in the fridge.

Then I think about how that roast I made tasted so dang good...and I want to make a roast sammich and slather mayonnaise on it. my goodness

 

I'm hungry. Very hungry!

 

Totally agree, I tend to be attracted to movies where the ordinary person is the hero of his/her own life.

V for Vendetta was bad ass, though. That movie gets a pass from me. lol But, he was a different kind of hero, not really 'super human.'

 

For a moment think of all of the starving Children in Africa, India, and Southeast Asia, that should settle your cravings


Hotwater

 

if it's warm enough to get sunburned at the beach, it should be warm enough to air dry after a shower.

 

washing my sheets, cause you know, I was inducted into the KKK for being a Conservative and all that jazz. damn I hate doing laundry..

 

Spanky is still showing interest in life...saying hello to everyone here, including the dogs...laying outside in the sunshine today, moving around. The vet told me he was not in any pain....so we are taking it here one day at a time.

I know he is dieing, though....as he barely eats anything anymore.....but I knew there was something wrong with him, when I said somewhere on the forum a few months ago i was worried about him. He has lost a lot of weight....and I saw that happening. He went from a 14 pound cat to under 10 pounds now. He is all bones.....He was also throwing up his food a lot when he was still eating.

Finnegan cat here , who is almost as old as Spanky......is healthy as an ox......and the vet told me sometimes kidney failure disease is just genetics affecting some older cats and not others. they did check for poisoning and saw none of that.....

I did research about it, and found out some people say all the distemper vaccines and things can cause this disease later in life, too...just what my holistic vet told me, too.

Stan came home yesterday and told me the SPCA had a kitten sign in front again, and I told myself..."Why not...let's go just look.....they probably are out of them by now, again......anyway....."....but I thought getting out and looking would be good medicine here for me, as i have been dieing along with Spanky the last few days.....

We went.....and asked.....and they said they had one little kitten left....and i asked what color?....as i told myself after Crusher disappeared recently, i wanted a gray kitten next......don't know why, i just did.....so they said..."he is gray..." I knew then it was over.....and seeing him for the first time, i knew he was meant to be with us here.....He is the cutest little long haired thing....tiny.......and he has white feet and a white bib....i never saw a cuter kitten.....so we filled out all of the paperwork , paid the $150..00 for him and took him home right then......I have named him Grayson....and he is a hider right now...under beds and dressers and things....but when I do pull him out, he is such the sweetest cuddler.....too...........He has a big presence and a soothing presence......he is pretty special.....so on one hand I am watching my beloved cat die, and a new kitten just start their life......but he is so beautiful....

It is mixed emotions now.....I was not quite ready to bring a kitten home now(as I am dealing with Spanky now)....but they said they would not hold him....., and that he would go quickly...yes, he would...Another couple , waiting behind us, wanted him also.....so I acted spontaneously....and said...."We are taking him....".....and knew, we would have to make it work here, as usual.......
All of my cats have been domestic short hairs....this is the first time, I have a long hair....

There was also a 4 year old cat there, I wanted, too....he is as big as Morris and the same color...I have had many orange cats, but none ever this big.........I bonded with him, too...in a holding room. He is 4 years old...and has been at the SPCA for 3 months already.....but I knew I was only going to bring one new cat home yesterday....but i just may go back for that big Rusty....as if you buy one cat at full cost, you get the second one for $35.00, and that is good for a month.


i told Spanky that the new kitten is here, because Crusher disappeared, and that is what we were planning all along. and somehow I knew he understood.

 

Also, I read back on all of my calendar diaries ...and found out that we adopted Spanky Sept 4, 2004.....exactly 13 years ago today, and Spanky was at least 6 months old when we adopted him....so he is about 13 and a half years old now.

 

Watching movies.

 

Going for a run, and then I must do laundry. That's the worst chore ever. :/

 

The two worst chores ever are grocery shopping amd laundry and I have to cram both into the next few hours because I have procrastinated this whole 3 day weekend :/

 

I just don't find them that tasty. Also: not much meat on them

 

Making a yummy, healthy dinner. Turkey meat with sauteed veggies on wheat flat bread.

Wishing this long weekend wouldn't end.

 

cooking. worst chore ever by far.

grocery shopping and laundry go perfect together. a typical dryer cycle is just the right amount of time to run to the grocery store, grab what you need, get home and put it away before your clothes are done.

 

I went for a run and then went kayaking today, got a bit too much sun. Had a blast, though...

 

I actually really like grocery shopping. Laundry, not so much.
